Biography
George O'Neill was from an Irish Catholic family, and he became a local politician in Atlantic City, New Jersey, rising to become an alderman. As a ward boss, he was one of the men responsible for collecting money for Treasurer Enoch Thompson, and he managed precinct captains in his ward. O'Neill was robbed by gangster Pius D'Alessio in 1920, leading to a war between Thompson and Lucky Luciano, whom he blamed for the theft. O'Neill would later side with Jimmy Darmody and Louis Kaestner against Thompson in 1921, but he grew wary of his role in the plot when Kaestner went missing. Eli Thompson, his co-conspirator, refused to let O'Neill visit Kaestner, and they got into a fight when O'Neill decided to visit him by himself. Thompson hit O'Neill in the throat with a wrench, killing him.
